Elite Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder ($10,000) at Warriors
Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off back-to-back 39-point games, and he surpassed 45 DK points in seven of 10 appearances, while averaging 33.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals. He faces a good opportunity to keep rolling against the Warriors, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to point guards, and he also totaled 48.8 DK points in their previous meeting.
Mikal Bridges, Nets ($8,300) vs. Timberwolves
Bridges continues to thrive, leading the Nets offense with an average of 30.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 10 games, including a high of 59 DK points. He should continue to excel offensively against the Timberwolves, who give up the league's third-most turnovers per game and also the sixth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat ($8,800) at Pistons
Butler topped 60 DK points in two of the last three games and is averaging 26.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals across 10 outings, including 49 DK points in the last meeting with the Pistons. He should be up for another big performance, as the Pistons give up the league's fourth-most points per game and also are heavily shorthanded.
Kevin Durant, Suns ($8,900) vs. Spurs
Durant is averaging 27.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists across three-games since returning from a 20-day absence. He has a great chance to shine against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 39.1 percent from the field.
Pascal Siakam, Raptors ($8,700) at Hornets
Siakam generated 60 DK points in the previous outing and is averaging 23.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.2 assists over 10 games. He faces an advantageous matchup against the Hornets, who give up the league's second-most rebounds per game and the fourth-most points per game to power forwards.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks ($11,400) at Wizards
Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.0 points, 11.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.2 steals through 10 games, including four with more than 60 DK points and a high of 81.3. He has a fantastic chance to stuff the stat sheet against the Wizards, who are a short-handed in the frontcourt, and he needs to ensure a win to help his team lock up first place in the East.
Value Picks
Gabe Vincent, Heat ($3,900) at Pistons
Vincent is averaging 10.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals over 10 games, including a high of 34.8 DK points. He has a good opportunity to prosper against the Pistons, who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to point guards.
Max Strus, Heat ($4,500) at Pistons
Strus tallied 26.5 DK points in the previous game and is up for his second consecutive start. He faces a favorable matchup against the Pistons, who give up the league's most free throws per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.9 percent from the field.
Saddiq Bey, Hawks ($4,800) at Bulls
Bey topped 30 DK points in back-to-back starts, and he will continue to play a key role in the absence of De'Andre Hunter (knee). He is averaging 10.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 10 games, and he should flourish against the Bulls, who give up the league's third-most threes per game.
Patrick Williams, Bulls ($4,000) vs. Hawks
Williams is averaging 9.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 10 games, including a high of 26.3 DK points in the previous outing. He faces a good chance to pad his stats against the Hawks, who give up the league's third-most offensive rebounds per game.
Onyeka Okongwu, Hawks ($4,900) at Bulls
Okongwu continues to make a big impact off the bench, averaging 14.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks over the last 10 games, including a high of 37.5 DK points.
